Calitz was ‘protecting children from arrest’

Johannesburg - Pirate kidnapping victim and author Debbie Calitz was trying to protect her children by allegedly attempting to avoid arrest on drug-related charges.

This is the opinion of a family member quoted on Talk Radio 702, after her arrest on Friday.

Nine people were arrested in the flat and appeared in the Hatfield Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning. Calitz and her children Kerri-Ann Cross and Jason Cross were represented by attorney Latham Dixon.
